Geriaviator, many thanks for the link! I can only agree with you that to put such a worthy and voluntary project onto a commercial, ie profit making basis, is totally inappropriate. As to the grave in question I am glad to report that I have numerous pictures taken over many years. Others might not be so fortunate, and to expect to make money out of them other than to cover costs is wrong in my opinion. BZ's (?) to all those who have volunteered to build this data base. Long may their good work continue.

Let us hope that a more enlightened attitude will soon take hold in the CWGC. The service would be a most fitting addition to the rest of the CWGC's good work. Of course, any intended commercial use of such images should attract a fee. I'm sure that conditions of downloading might allow for that.

Take care with that chainsaw, lest you provide manna from heaven for sub-editors ever on the lookout for an ironic headline!
